After a hearty breakfast of angry fruit...
...we boarded the USC tram to Marina del Ray (30+ minute ride with our driver, Craig... and he was haulin' derriere).
The tram dropped us off at ICT (Institute for Creative Technologies) (affiliated with USC) but we then hopped onto the Number 1 Big Blue Bus, transfered to the Number 3 and ended-up at A52
We were very pleased to see Max Ulichney (CCAD alumni 2004) thriving and enjoying his career! (The spider on the main A52 page is Max's)
Annie Z. provided us with this group shot. She also had the best, one-word description of a time-intensive rendering process: "horrend-er-ous." Awesome.
We Blue Bused it back to ICT where Dr. Jackie Morie hosted us on a tour of the facilities.
Presentation by Andrew Jones on the gathering of mesh, texture, and lighting data.
Demonstration by Patrick Kenny of an Interactive Character Simulation.
After dinner, we were visited by Ed Verreaux. Ed started his presentation outside (as we were locked-out of our usual venue).
Then, we moved back to the hotel to look at past and current work (image from Monster House). Ed reiterated a sage piece of advice: "You learn more from your mistakes than you do from your successes."
